Mumbai, Dec 12 (SocialNews.XYZ) A fortnight into office, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray went to the family deity, Ekvira Devi Temple and later the birthplace of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, in Pune district, here on Thursday.
Accompanied by his wife Rashmi and legislator son Aaditya, Thackeray offered puja at the temple, situated atop a hill on the outskirts of Lonavala.
On the occasion, the temple authorities also felicitated him on becoming the Chief Minister of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government last month.
